## OAuth Security

Tradovate uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication:

* Edge Analyzer never sees your Tradovate password
* You authorize directly with Tradovate
* You can revoke access anytime from your Tradovate account settings
* Tokens are automatically refreshed

## Account Types

Tradovate connections can include:

| Type | Description                         |
| ---- | ----------------------------------- |
| Demo | Paper trading accounts for practice |
| Live | Real money trading accounts         |

Both account types are fully supported for copy trading and journaling.
